What language credits do I need to graduate?
You need one elective credit to graduate; this can be a world language course or one of the offerings in the CATE program. For college bound students, two credits are required for most universities, but some require 3 such as Clemson University and College of Charleston. It's best to check with the school you plan to attend.
How do I earn a language cord at graduation?
Completer cords are offered to students beginning in level 4. This cord is a single color strand. Students who take AP Spanish or French qualify for a two strand cord. Students who are members in good standing in Spanish or French Honor Society qualify for the three strand cord. Students may only purchase one cord that matches their highest achievement. Cords may be purchased in May from the World Language department chair, Ms. Jennifer Reschly in room 244. Prices vary each year and will be communicated when cords are available for purchase.
